Over the course of his career,
Hughie Jennings
made 5,648 plate appearances.
Jennings
was worth
42.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 23.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 42.5 WAR becomes
46.0 adjWAR. Then, WAA is adjusted by ignoring negative seasons
(thus, truly capturing a player’s peak seasons) and making similar adjustments for catchers and relief pitchers.
After these adjustments, the 23.4 WAA becomes 26.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Jennings 92.8 wWAR. wWAR is then converted to Hall Rating.
A Hall Rating of 100 represents the Hall of Stats borderline (similar to OPS+ or wRC+, where 100 represents league average).
Hughie Jennings has a Hall Rating of
87,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
